EKS: The World RX Dream

When Audi DTM works team driver Mattias Ekström decided to put together his own FIA World Rallycross team with two brand new Audi S1 builds at the end of last year, 2014 was always just going to be a development season. But, between himself and Pontus Tidemand, and two wildcard drivers – Markus Winkelhock and Edward Sandström – success has come quickly for the EKS team. In the top-ranked Supercar class where 90-odd drivers are subscribed to race 600hp, four-wheel drive, turbo machines, Pontus currently sits in 8th position, and Mattias in 13th, with four of 12 rounds still left to run. It’s been an amazing start for EKS in World RX, and in this new clip Mattias takes a look back at how the dream came together in a very short time.
